Because the only show-stopper I found was with Windows 2003 (most likely
2K as well) and Windows XP clients. At least with W2K3 it's a real
problem. So far I couldn't see any problem with Apache + Firefox.

It should work with Windows Server 2003 (not with 2K) and Windows XP clients **with SP3**.

It really surprising that you should have problem with Windows Server 2003. Whilst I didn't spend too much time investigating SHA-2 with IIS, I know some other software that successfully use it on W2K3.

About Apache, it seems the potential problem is more with OpenSSL, it will not enable SHA-2 by default if you only enable the default algorithms for SSL. But I think most people choose instead to initialize all the algorithms OpenSSL knows about, and apparently so does mod_ssl.

Firefox knows about SHA-2 since Firefox 2.
